Soooo........."How did ya get'er down?"

You got bigger basketballs than I do! "No way your going to get me up on one of those things half that height!" :mrgreen:

I just ordered a 30' tower from Texas Towers, and ordered it with a tilt-base just for that reason...Not scared of heights, just the thought of being up on a tower, then finding out there was a weak-spot somewhere under me scares the be-jesus out of me! :icon_e_surprised:

Now see..."That would have been a interesting, and educational video!" Because I have seen plenty of videos that look like you filmed from a plane or helicopter, but not all that many of people actually up on a tower, taking it down without bumping the ground with their head....Just like to see how ya manage to hold on, and take a section apart and lower it all at the same time 50-80' in the air.

Still....nice video.
